Lighting Instructions
kindling:
Finely chopped wood
Length: 25-35 cm
Diameter: 3-5 cm
Weight per lighting: 2.3 kg
(approx. 10-12 finely chopped pieces)
The damper
This insert has a supply air damper that can be closed completely, position
”-”. The damper must be in this position for periods when the insert is not
used. This prevents air from flowing through the chimney when the stove
is not in use, which considerably reduces the risk of condensation and
of hot room air escaping through the chimney. During lighting however,
the damper must not be in this position because the air supply is shut
off completely. It is also strictly forbidden to try to extinguish the stove
by closing the damper. Make sure all embers have burned out before the
damper is set to position ”–”.
Note that if too little kindling is used when lighting, or if the wood is too
thickly cut, the firebox will not reach the correct operating temperature.
Incorrect lighting can lead to poor combustion with heavy sooting and may
result in the fire going out when the door is shut.
If the house has mechanical ventilation, it may be necessary to open a
window near to the fireplace prior to lighting. Leave the window open for a
few minutes until the fire has caught properly.
1. Open the damper completely to max.
2. The start-up fire must consist of approx. 11 pieces of kindling of
varying dimensions with a combined weight of approx.: 2.3 kg.
Make up the fire as follows:
Place 3 thick pieces of kindling on the bottom.
Place 3-4 firelighters on the middle piece of kindling
Place 2 thinner pieces of kindling on each side of the stack on top.
Then place 3 further smaller pieces of kindling across. Place the
thinnest pieces of kindling across again. The wood may need to be
positioned diagonally in order to fit.
3. Light the fire and close the door completely.

Lighting in the right way
It is important that the correct amount of wood is used, especially when
lighting. If you are lighting the fire for the first time you should use a set
of scales to see how much 2.3 kg kindling is. Also check what the normal
and maximum weights look like. Follow the kindling procedure below, after
which the insert must be burnt with the door closed because of the risk
of smoke entering the room. Always open the door carefully and slowly
to prevent blow back because of the changing pressure in the stove. The
function of the insert differs depending on the draft conditions in the
chimney. Achieving the correct setting for the combustion air damper
usually takes a few attempts.
